Empowered 

A term used primarily for women with little to no self-worth to improve their own view of themselves. A slogan about women that is supposed to give them 'strength' and 'courage' rather than taking ahold of themselves and being responsible for themselves in an attempt to blame others for their 'suppression'.
As a woman, I felt empowered by another women who could chew gum and get married at the same time!

Keyboard Empowerment 

A sense of worth and authority that can only be gained by sitting behind a keyboard for countless hours blogging or commenting on forum threads. Typically reserved for individuals who feel as if they are well versed in the political or religious fields but in reality are more ignorant than the average human. Also accompanied by a general worthlessness in their real life. This is most commonly seen in younger individuals who have poor social skills and are void of any athletic or scholastic talent.
Guy 1: "Fuck all you noobs out there! When slavery finally comes back I hope you all get put into it! Haxorz 4 lyfe!!

Guy 2: "Wow, this is ridiculous. You're sense of keyboard empowerment has gotten out of hand"

Innovative Empowerment 

To create not just the normal empowerment and leadership approaches but to develop programs that are unique, original and use other means to create synergy to make a difference. Innovative empowerment programs transcends the basic lessons of life and creates a platform to have lessons put into action within society. The word was coined by the programs at Windows of Opportunity, Inc. (www.wooinc.org) and Dance of the Butterfly (www.danceofthebutterfly.com).
The HIV Program at Windows of Opportunity is an innovative empowerment program because it educates on HIV Awareness and in addition trains us how to coordinate workshops and conferences, so we can save the lives of hundreds.

empowerful 

What a woman is who doesn't have actual power but is very good at catering to the beauty myth. Originated by Twisty Faster at I Blame The Patriarchy.
She may only earn 3/4 of what a man earns, but she damn well has the empower to look sexy doing it in her cheapcrap push-up bra from Victoria’s Secret. She has the empower to demand pink products from manufacturers. She has the empower to cry out ‘I did it for me!’ when she gets her boob job; maybe she even has the empower to believe it. The empowerful woman is saucy, yet feminine. Clever, yet feminine. In her early thirties, yet feminine. Heterosexual, yet feminine. Stays in shape eating Lean Cuisine and sweating blue Gatorade while kickboxing in slow motion, yet feminine. Yes, the empowerful woman is many things. Too bad powerful isn’t one of them.
